read some reply's about jaracz being a child abuser.. is there any evidence about it?.

g..

waton

we have Knorr to thank ( or is it to blame ) for allowing Ted Jaracz to get back in the traveling work if he "got married " . Hmm. Wonder why Knorr wanted Jaracz to " get married " ? So he wouldn't commit any more " moral flaws " ?

not wanting to put water on the rumour water wheel, but was that not the modus operandi with the Percy Chapman "solution" in the Canadian Bethel, that was also graced at one time with Leo Greenlee's presence?

Marriage perhaps not to let off steam, but create an image that seems "normal".

when meghan markle says her royal wedding vows to prince harry on saturday, she’ll be following in the footsteps of princess diana and kate middleton by choosing to omit the traditional promise to “obey” her husband, the palace confirms.. during the ceremony, officiated by archbishop of canterbury justin welby, meghan will tell her royal groom: “i meghan, take you, harry, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part; according to god’s holy law.

in the presence of god i make this vow.”.

the decision doesn’t come as a surprise: meghan has long been a vocal feminist, working with organizations like one world vision to learn about the challenges facing women and girls living in dubai and mumbai.

just thinking. not only Markle, but Merkel too, was not putting obedience to her husband at the top of the list.Queeen Victoria would be proud of them both.

Hospitality - How not to.....March 2018 study article.

by punkofnice in

what do you make of this part of the march 2018 watchtower study edition?.

2 among other things, peter urged his brothers: “be hospitable to one another.” (1 pet.

4:9) the word “hospitality” in greek literally means “fondness for, or kindness to, strangers.” note, however, that peter urged his christian brothers and sisters to be hospitable “to one another,” to those whom they already knew and associated with.

"-- to those whom they already knew and associated with. ---- them?--"

I think wt meant a narrower definition: Your clique in the congregation, circuit.

" --according to God’s holy law.--"

that will still make any lawyer, rub her hands. (Bill's wife is a lawyer) . Another lawyer, Saul of Tarsus, declared all of 1 Cor. 11, 14 to be " --the Lords commandments" (verse 37) so:

are we not glad we know where this all came from.

wish them the best. wish more newly weds would have so little real cares.

All of Chile's 34 bishops RESIGN over a sex abuse and cover-up scandal after crisis meeting with the Pope

all of chile's 34 bishops resign over a sex abuse and cover-up scandal after crisis meeting with the pope.

may 18, 2018. pope francis has accused chile's bishops of destroying evidence of sex crimes .

There might have been a slightly similar situation Gb/vs Elders once a long time ago, 1970 ies perhaps, but it was abuse of a different kind, the unkindly self abuse.

Wt, via circuit overseers [servants] invited all elders having problems with masturbation to resign. None that we knew did. One elder's response:

I have no problem with that.

The child rape problem is grave, no joking matter. Perhaps more serious in the celibate catholic environment than in wt, taken more seriously too. therefore,

more resignations.

Most illogical verse in the Bible

by Ireneus in

in exodus 20:3-5 god is depicted as saying: “you should have no other gods” and worshipping them would bring ‘punishment for three to four generation’ and worshipping me would bring blessings for “a thousand generations.”.

the sentiments behind this command is same as the one that was displayed by othello who punished his wife desdemona all because of a handkerchief (given to her by othello on their honeymoon) that was happened to be found with someone else.. if it were the real god, he would have said something like this: “you are my children, and you should not worship me.

how can father accept worship from his children?

waton

God accepting Abel's offering of mutton, at a time when humans were vegetarians. So: the meat was basically garbage, even if wt calls it "choice pieces". By contrast, Cain's hard earned vegetables from a cursed ground were deemed to be of no sacrificial value.

Partakers at the altar writing history to suit their palate?

if it fits the story line or not?

How does mankind know what happen before we were created??

by James Mixon in

for example, "and god said, let there be light: and there was light.

"a personal and vocal god said, "let there be light.

"so god saw the light, and thought it good, but how did the priestly scribe know that he did?

waton

Well, what language did He use to say that, if language had not been invented. And why was God talking to himself like a weirdo, anyway?

The bible aside, there could be a scientific grain of truth to this. Many modern theories imply an underlying resonance to everything, from string theory to planetary spacings. but

for every lucky hit in the scriptures there is the exposure of ignorance how things work.

How do we know? fossils. stuff that has been around a long time, is durable, and looking at the other fossil, light. Yes, light, is a fossil, as old as 13 billion years, it carries the imprint of what it reflected off.

Everything we see , we see from the past, one way or another. fossils.

No, God did not tell them, otherwise they would not have copied mistakes like Gen. 1:1 asserting that the Earth was created in the Big Beginning. Or that a wooden ship could be build big enough to float in water that falls at a rate of meters per hour.

priests wrote to get the 10% phoney fee.
